I have an ammendment to make to this... do not SOAK down the maf sensor use the cleaner, but vary sparingly, and only on the hot wires, be very gentle with them and wipe any residue off. Soaking down just about any sensor can lead to cleaning solution creeping into the sensor and cause premature failure.
